Army Of The Bored Lyrics
In the campaign of lonely, lonely hungry boys; few make plans and see them though; there is strength in numbers, strength encumbers all of those who try to see them through, coping with things beyond their control, with lights and fights and cigarette smoke, they hope to command an impressive show, if only for their own piece of mind, they hope to command an impressive show, if only for their own piece of mind, the likes of these cannot be contained, by promises, laughter or time, passionate are their intentions, coveted now is their membership, to the army of the lonely, hungry boys who follow outdated principles and whose dreams spur them on still; at least they didn't sleep the day away, and whose dreams spur them on still; at least they didn't sleep the day away, the likes of these cannot be contained, by promises, laughter or time, passionate are their intention, coveted now is their membership, to the army of the lonely, hungry boys who follow outdated principles, without which they couldn't even bare,without which they couldn't bare to dare.

"and whose dreams spur them on still; at least they didn't sleep the day away,"
Well, I'm not quite sure if Pain generally puts a lot of meaning in thier songs- they seem more like pleasent little ballads- but this line really jumped out at me in this song.
To me "and whose dreams spur them on still" means that they have very ambitious goals and they strive to achieve these goals with all their effort. "at least they didn't sleep the day away", again to me, means that while they do have goals and try to attain these goals, they're not wasting their effort with goals they simply can't achieve. It's a nice little analogy- they have their "dreams", but they didn't "sleep all day" dreaming of these dreams. I've always loved Pain's extremely witty lyrics. :D
